Let's not get postmodernly Ramtha-esque here, with "my truth" and
"your truth" and "his/her/its truth." The tonal divisions may be
different in different musical systems, but an octave's still an octave.
Different cultures may have different names for colors (as well as
differing numbers of names and differing positions for the divisions
between them), but each culture's sum total must still seamlessly fill
the color wheel. Hydrogen doesn't care whether someone thinks it
exists or what they think it is, and certainly won't morph to fulfill their
expectations. The Copenhagen Interpretation, Heisenberg and
Schrodinger notwithstanding, there is such a thing as an objective
reality, and the intersubjective world (a product of our co-operating
and competing subjectivities) more and more precisely grasps
(maps) it as our understanding evolves. This is a neverending
process, because the phenomenal world is perceptually
inexhaustible; however, there is a profound difference between
incomplete and incorrect, and we can deny neither of them. Not
having total information is different from having the wrong
information; the same goes for understanding.
